Why a [i]second[/i] Elvis Essentials playlist? If we selected [i]only[/i] songs from his gold and platinum singles, we'd have more than 100 tunes, way more than enough to fill one full Essentials playlist — without ever touching an album track or rarity. The sad truth about Elvis’ vast catalog is that only about 25 tunes still get any airplay on U.S. radio, and because most record stores carry only the hits, a huge, very worthy chunk of his history is criminally ignored. [i]That’s just wrong[/i]. When he cranks the dial to maximum intensity, Elvis lights up the joint like a crate full of fireworks. And when he shifts down into ballad mode, he pours out his voice like butterscotch on a sundae. Fact is, even after a second helping of Elvis’ finest, we bet you’ll want to come back for more.
